Switching phones is often quite a cumbersome affair, mostly because it involves transferring a whole bunch of data from one device to another. Out of this data, your contacts are probably the most important piece of information, and often the first thing that is needed to be migrated to the new phone.

Thankfully, if you’re moving from an iOS device to an Android one, it’s easy to have your contacts moved. Here are four ways to do it.

Using Google account

Since you are moving to an Android device, it’s almost a given you’ll be using a Google account. Login to your Google account (or first create one, if you don’t have it). Now, head to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and add the Google account there. When asked what information is to be synced with the account, make sure you select Contacts. Note that synchronization may take a while depending on how many contacts you have. When finished, you can check the list of contacts in your Google account.

Using iCloud

Apple’s own iCloud synchronization service can also come in handy for transferring contacts from an iPhone to an Android smartphone. To do this, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and then select ‘iCloud’ from account options. Now select contacts to sync your contacts with the iCloud account.

After this is done, you’ll have to head to icloud.com on your PC’s web browser and log in with your Apple ID. After logging in, select Contacts > All Contacts. Now click the gear icon at the bottom of the page and click Export vCard. This will create a VCF file on PC which can be imported to your Android phone.

With third party apps

If you don’t want to use the official methods, there are plenty of third party apps that can help you get the contacts migrated from an iPhone to an Android phone. However, make sure you select an app that is available for both iOS and Android platforms.

Nearly all basic contacts transfer apps include the ability to backup contacts and send them as an email attachment (VCF file) to an address of your choice. Once this is done, simply download the VCF file on your Android phone and the contacts will be imported to your device.

Using iTunes

To do this, you’ll first have to connect your iPhone to your computer. Open iTunes and go to the iPhone option at the top. Under the Info tab, check the ‘Sync Contacts with’ option and select Google Contacts. Finally, enter your Google account details and hit the ‘Sync iPhone’ option.

It's that time of the year. There's a new class of iPhones in town, which means many people will be making the switch to reap the latest that Apple has to offer. Or, you may be upgrading to an older model that just got a sweet new price drop. Whether it's rocking a physical SIM card or eSIM, getting your contacts onto an iPhone from Android remains the same -- and it's not as complicated as you may think.

Below I've listed three simple methods to transfer your contacts from Android to iOS, with the first one being my go-to if you're just starting to set up your iPhone.

The first method is Apple's own 'Move to iOS' app. You can download the first-party service on Google's Play store for free and use it to transfer contacts, photos and videos, and more.

Note: In order for the service to work, you'll have to be in the iOS Setup Assistant, which is the start-up page when you first turn on your new iPhone. If you've already set up the device, look to the second method in this guide.

1. Once 'Move to iOS' is installed, accept the terms and conditions, and allow the application to access your Android phone's location.

2. You will then be asked to Find Your Code. Tap Continue. From your iPhone, follow through the Setup Assistant until you see Move Data from Android.

3. Enter the six or ten-digit code from the iPhone into the Android. A Transfer Data screen will appear, with a list of items you can copy over to your iPhone. If you're just moving your contacts, check off the respective bullet. If you want to move all of your files and data, check off everything.

4. Leave your Android and iPhone untouched while the transfer is processing. Depending on how much you're moving from phone to phone, it can take as long as 30 minutes.
